The next chapter is here! I'm on a roll uploading, don't know how long it'll lasts, so just enjoy :).
-----------------------
Today, we are getting ready for Christmas Eve. Kyle should be here any minute. He refused to have us pick him. I’m assuming he has something planned or he wants Xavier to spend his time with us. Kyle knows about how much Xavier has been traveling and the twins’ reactions to it.
We have most of the preparations ready by early afternoon and like as if on cue, the doorbell rings.
“I’ll open the door, daddy.” Angel says rushing to the door.
“Wait Angel, remember we must always check who is at the door before we open it.” I remind him.
“Yes, daddy, so who is it?”
“It’s your uncle Ryan.” I respond opening the door.
“Hi, uncle Ryan!”
“How is my favorite nephew?”
“Great!”
“Where is my favorite niece?”
“Here.”
“You both are growing up too quickly.”
“Because we eat.” Angel says making us laugh at the comment.
“Yes, that’s why. Come here my favorite brother and give your favorite brother a hug.”
“That’s because you’re my only brother, so I have to say you’re my favorite.”
“Twins your daddy is being mean.” Ryan tells them.
“He’s your only brother uncle Ryan.” Angel responds.
“A smart response, Angel.” Katelyn says.
“Hi, Katelyn.” Both twins greet her.
“Hello.”
“Guess, who is here?” Kyle says as he steps into view.
“Hey!” I exclaim as he gives me a hug. “Perfect timing.”
“Kyle!” Angel exclaims going to hug him as well as Celestine.
“How are my favorite twins?”
“Good.” Angel responds.
“Happy.” Celestine responds.
“Ready to open your presents?” Kyle asks.
“Yes, but we have to wait until tomorrow, Christmas morning.” Angel says.
Kyle smiles, “Yes, we all have to wait until then.”
“Yes, I’m going to go tell dad.” Angel says.
Kyle responds turning back to me, “Well, not too perfect when I came with them.”
“You did? How?”
“I didn’t want you having to pick me up, so I asked Ryan.”
“I told you it was no trouble.”
“I know, but you took the responsibility of hosting Christmas.”
“I love Christmas.”
“I know.” Kyle smiles. “Are we the last ones here?”
“Yes, everyone is here.” I lead the way to where everyone else is.
“Let’s get started. Our late lunch is ready!” I announce.
